hi folk,
i will go to japan this fall. does anybody know a good retro store for
msx stuff there? any addresses?
Heya,
I don’t know specific addresses, but I do know where you can find them;
I’m the most familiar with Osaka; there’s a place called Den-Den Town,
which is the electronics district, and it’s close to Nanba (one of the
city centers). The main part consists of one long street, and if you
walk along that street there are several retro shops. You can recognise
them by the NES music, old consoles outside, and signs, etc. If you walk
into a couple of them, some should have MSX stuff (though not all do), I
think there’s about three of them which have it.
In Tokyo, it’s kind of a similar story. Although I’ve been there only
once, so I don’t really know. Anyway, you want to go to Akihabara
(Tokyo’s electronics district) and walk around there as well. Along the
main street I didn’t really see many retro shops, so you probably need
to go to the side-streets. There’s one shop called Super Potato which is
on the second floor of a building (iirc), that one has some MSX stuff on
the third floor. There should be a sign outside. I’m sure there are
other retro shops as well :) , but I haven’t been to them so you’ll have
to look around a little.
Hope that helps!
